Chapter 14: A Crate Full of Gems

"Chubby, well done. In fact, the orcs at this moment don't have much combat power, but Leo, who knows how to domesticate "pets", still praises them.

Sure enough, Chubby shook his head excitedly, and was about to attack the orcs again.

Leo was worried that the orc might hurt the fat fat with a desperate blow, so he preemptively moved his mind, and the bracelet changed, and accurately stabbed the magic sword into the orc's chest, completely destroying the opponent's heart.

"Whew, whew!" The orc's breath was like a tattered bellows, getting lower and lower, the vitality was rapidly flowing from its body, and the two strong arms were also hanging down, and it was impossible to pose any threat to Leo without exerting any strength.

In a short battle, this ferocious demonized orc was easily eliminated by Leo. When dealing with melee combat, mages with various and strange methods do have an unparalleled advantage.

Slowly pulling out the magic sword from the orc's chest, Leo was about to push the limp body of the orc in front of him away, but heard a muffled murmur: "Finally...... Free ......"

He looked at it in surprise, and Huo Ran found that there was still a trace of madness in the eyes of the orcs who were gradually losing their light, and there was only gratitude to Leo and regret that his life was about to pass.

And Leo also clearly saw from the shape of its voiceless mouth that it was its last words, and it turned out to be a very common word in lingua franca - "thank you".

For a moment, Leo was eager to learn about the orc warrior's past. What happened in its life would make it say thank you to the enemy who killed it.

But by this time the sky was getting brighter and the sun was climbing the horizon. Leo didn't dare to delay any longer, took a deep look at the fallen hand-man warrior, and ran towards a few ice blocks not far away.

As a large area ahead was slaughtered by orc warriors, the few living slaves saw Leo's victory over the orcs. It's too late to escape, so it's naturally impossible to stop it. And the dragon coercion that Leo still exudes makes them even more frightened.

It's June, and the climate in the swamp isn't very hot, but it's humid and warm, at least above 20 degrees. But there were a total of seven ice cubes in front of him, just standing like that, constantly emitting cold air, and there was no sign of melting.

Among the seven ice cubes, there are six intelligent beings that are frozen. There are three humans, an orc, a minotaur, and a gnome, and the only non-intelligent life is a very dangerous adult bipedal wyvern.

Looking at these ice cubes and the creatures of different shapes inside, Leo actually had a very strange feeling, as if he was in a museum, observing some ancient relics.

"It can't be a dragon, it's a habit of collecting all kinds of biological specimens. Leo shook his head, putting his thoughts aside and looking at them one by one. It was quickly confirmed that this was definitely caused by magic, not the blue dragon's own talent spitting spell.

Then he discovered that there was only one human male in his fifties or sixties. He still retains a faint heartbeat, and is as described by Muraton, with gray hair and a height similar to his own. Wearing a hideous dark red armor, he is definitely the leader of the "Roadside Wildflower" mercenary group. As for the others, maybe they have been frozen for too long. All lost signs of life.

In order to further verify his idea, Leo used the dragon's wrath to slash the ice, and it was no surprise that the hard ice left only shallow traces, very similar to the legendary magic scroll "Frozen Ice Coffin" that the teacher used to freeze the red young dragon, but it seems that the effect is worse.

"It should be a weakened version, but at least above level 7. ”

For those who fall under this magic, they can only be dispelled by magic or magic spells, and if the ice is forcibly broken, it is likely that the people inside will also be broken into pieces.

Leo took out the level dispersal magic scroll from his bosom and steadied his feelings. In his consciousness, he asked, "Professor, check my current mental strength." ”

After a brief silence, the professor replied, "Spirit 1.62, Spirit Peak 2.32." ”

The situation was basically the same as expected, and Leo couldn't help but sigh. With his current level of spiritual power, whether it is casting the level 2 magic "Electromagnetic Field Enchantment" or other level 1 and 0 magic, the loss of spiritual power will not be too great, and the only thing that consumes a lot of spiritual power is the bloodline spell "Flame Nova". However, Leo also understands that if the Flame Nova had not offset the demonized orc's tattoo protection, then his subsequent attack would not have been so easy to completely defeat it.

And now, although he was able to activate this magic scroll, after all, it was on the edge of the limit, and it would not only cause a very strict consumption of spiritual power, but maybe it might also cause some other accidents.

It's just that the current situation doesn't allow him to let go of a distracting thought and engage in shallow meditation, and although Muradon can barely resist the attack of the Gnoll Chieftain, he is obviously starting to be a little stretched.

Glancing around, there were not many beings who could threaten him, Leo gritted his teeth, temporarily closed the professor, and took out some of his mental power to lock on to the target ice cube, and then activated the dispel magic scroll.

The mana fluctuated in an instant, and the magic scroll ignited a flame without temperature.

Leo suddenly felt his mental power drain rapidly, and kept surging towards the scroll.

In just a few seconds, he was already covered in cold sweat, and the dizziness and weakness caused by the massive consumption of mental power hit him, almost making him unable to stand up.

Fortunately, the consumption of spiritual power came to an abrupt end, and a ball of brilliant light burst out in the ashes of the scroll, and according to the traction of Leo's spiritual power, it was shrouded in the ice.

Then, instead of melting, the ice quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, apparently restored to magic by the magical effect of the dispersal technique, and looking back on the world, the effect was completely better than he expected.

According to Leo's understanding, the dispersal technique should destroy the magic structure of the ice cube in order to achieve the effect of dispel, and in the teacher's magic notes, there is a level 2 magic with a similar function, and the primary bad dispel of the protection series can effectively dispel some slight freezing, burning, acidic and weak.

After a while, the ice disappeared completely, and the middle-aged man inside collapsed on the ground.

A few meters away, Leo could still feel that the middle-aged man was very weak and angry. Fortunately, although he was in a deep coma, his soul was still in his body, otherwise there was no priest present, no matter how much he and Muraton tossed, they would not be able to save each other.

Taking a deep breath, Leo felt his state, his mental power was on the verge of exhaustion, and maybe as long as he cast the "electromagnetic field enchantment" again, he would also pass out.

"Anyway, it's a success. Leo said something in his heart, and then gave a loud whistle, which was the signal that he had made an appointment with Muraton.

The two sides were far apart, but Muraton, who was fighting hard, heard it immediately.

Taking advantage of the Gnoll Chieftain's attack, he glanced in the direction where the voice came from, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Leo had rescued the regimental leader from the ice.

The dwarven warrior was reckless, but not stupid at all, and hurriedly shouted: "Do you hear? The master sent a signal and was about to make a move, Zalama, you will resist me! I will meet the master!"

"Greet?" the goblin leader couldn't understand at all, he did it, why did he have to greet?

Of course, Murathon would not explain to it, but he found the assembly and retreated, leaving the goblin leader exposed.

The gnoll chief had already slain the scene, but no matter who the opponent was, the big axe swung and attacked the goblin leader again.

On the other side, Leo saw that Muraton was leaving the battlefield, so he issued an order to the ogre druid next to him: "Fatty, turn into a reindeer!"

With a soul connection, Chubby could feel that Leo's state was very bad, so without the slightest hesitation, he instantly changed into a reindeer, and also cried twice, urging Leo to come up and rest quickly.

Leo smiled, forced the unconscious man onto the back of the reindeer, and said, "Walk steady, don't let him fall." ”

Chubby glanced at Leo blankly, which meant to ask, "Why don't you come up?"

Leo patted his chubby head and said, "Obedient, the terrain here is bumpy, I can't go up." When we get out of here, you'll be a bear, and I'll go up too. ”

Fat reluctantly flicked his tail, shifted his footsteps, and followed Leo towards the top of the pit.

Muraton and Leo were located in a diagonal, and he needed to pass through the center of the bottom of the pit to meet them, but they were all slaves fighting along the way, and no one intercepted them, so he reached the center of the bottom of the pit very smoothly.

At this point, Leo reached the top edge of the pit and paused for a moment to wait for the dwarven warriors. But what he didn't expect was that the other party made another mistake at this time, and was attracted by a metal box.

"Let's go!" Leo greeted at maximum volume.

The dwarven warrior turned a deaf ear, coming from the dwarves' racial instinct of being good at treasure hunting, which made him feel that there was definitely an unimaginable treasure in this chest.

Without hesitation, Muratton lifted the lid of the box and greeted the rising sun, and the brilliant light reflected in it almost made him faint by the sudden happiness.

It was full of gemstones, including more than a dozen fist-sized, crystal clear aqua blue stones, and a larger number of associated gemstones, but at a lower price.

Leo was also stunned, but quickly reacted and shouted, "Don't touch it!"

It's okay not to shout, this shout immediately brought Muraton back to his senses, he almost trembled, picked up the metal box that was about to catch up with his body, and faced Leo, showing a big smile.

But the next moment, a loud dragon roar suddenly resounded in the sky. (To be continued......)
